Sophie Lee

NAME: Sophie Lee

AGE: 29

FROM: Manchester

OCCUPATION: Motivational Speaker and Author

OCCUPATION: Semi-pro footballer and personal trainer

CLAIM TO FAME? My dad being an ex-professional footballer. I’ve met all kinds of famous people through him. When I was younger it was weird because he was just my dad, but we’d go to a game and fans were asking for photos. I’ve met David Beckham, he was really nice.

Megan Moore

NAME: Megan Moore

AGE: 25

Tommy Bradley

NAME: Tommy Bradley

AGE: 22

FROM: Hertfordshire

OCCUPATION: Landscape Gardener

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? A girl who is very ambitious, with a big personality, caring, but also someone that doesn’t take themselves too seriously. I don’t know if that’s asking for too much, but I want a bit of everything. I haven’t got a specific type in terms of looks, though.

Alima Gagio

NAME: Alima Gagio

FROM: Glasgow

OCCUPATION: Wealth Management Client Services Executive

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? A tall man with a handsome face. You know when you just look at a guy and they have that Disney prince look to them? That’s it

WOULD MAYA HIRE YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS? I think she’d hire me because I’m a good flirt. I always ask guys on a night out to guess which country I’m originally from. If they get it right, they can get my number.

But they never guess correctly so it works really well if you don’t want to give a guy your number. I’m originally from Guinea Bissau. If they’re close and I really fancy them, I’ll give them my number anyway.

Helena Ford

NAME: Helena Ford

AGE: 29

FROM: London

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Somebody funny or Northern. I feel like Northern people have much more banter than Southerners. If you look through my previous dating history, you’ll see I clearly go for personality. You can pretty much laugh me into bed.

WOULD MAYA HIRE YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS? I would say hire but then quickly fire soon after. It would only be a temporary contract.

Megan Moore

NAME: Megan Forte Clarke

AGE: 24

FROM: Dublin

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

Someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously and has a sense of humour. If they’re not bad looking, that’s always a plus.

I love a boy that’s a bit pasty, like Timothée Chalamet. I don’t mind scrawny, or a bit of a ‘dad bod’. I’m 5ft1 so any height really.

CLAIM TO FAME? Me and my friends made a Derry Girls TikTok for Halloween and it went a bit viral around Brighton. Sometimes I get stopped in the street about it. I’ve also done Panto.

Someone who is family oriented, has a lot of love to give and a lot of love to receive. Personality goes a long way.

Conor Phillips

NAME: Conor Phillips

AGE: 23

FROM: Limerick

OCCUPATION: Professional rugby player

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?Someone who is really sure of themselves, ambitious, a bit of a go-getter and good craic. I like dark eyes and I don’t mind a dominant woman.

WOULD MAYA HIRE YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS? Definitely hire. I ask girls if they want to go halves on a baby. It doesn’t work, but it gets them laughing. It’s an ice-breaker, not a serious question of course!

Toni Laites

NAME: Toni Laites

AGE: 24

FROM: Connecticut

OCCUPATION: Las Vegas Pool Cabana Server

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? I’m looking for darker hair, definitely muscular but not too muscular. Super fit. Clean hair cut. Someone that can make me laugh – I’m super outgoing. And someone that’s quite active. Maybe one day we could start our own family together.

I WANT TO DATE A BRITISH GUY BECAUSE… I’ve lived in three different states and I’m still single. It’s time to try something new! I have some British friends and they’re pretty charming. I think all Americans love a good accent. British men are just more polite, with better manners.
